Third person POV:

Ichigo laid in his bed starring at the ceiling. It was eight in the morning and he was awake. This was strange of him to be awake at this time. All He wanted was for Rukia to wake up so he could get answers. Answers that his heart and mind had been longing for. He gave a small howl of irritation as his patience wore out. He looked at Rukia's sleeping face in his closet as a small smile made it's way on his face.

After all this time she finally came back. Now I just need her to wake the hell up, he thought to himself. He tried to make noises that were loud enough to awaken Rukia but not his family. He soon gave up realizing she had successfully blocked every noise he made. He stared back at the ceiling as an idea came to mind. He grabbed the pillow that was beside him as he aimed it towards a certain someone. Once he was sure it would hit Rukia directly in the face he threw it with all his force. He quickly pulled his covers up over his face and pretended to be asleep.

"Ichigo!" he heard a familiar voice exclaim. He closed his eyes as he heard Rukia small footsteps get closer to him. The warmness that the blanket was provided disappeared as he felt someone yank it off his body.
He opened his eyes slowly and gave a fake yawn as if he had just awoken.

"I know it was you so cut the act out," Rukia stated while sitting down on his bed. Ichigo gave a small chuckle as he sat up in his bed. He looked over at Rukia who was slouching with her face in her hands. He gave a small smile as he remembered all the countless times she would sit in that same spot, in that same position all the time before She left. His smile disappeared As he heard a growl escape from his stomach. It caught Rukia's attention as she chuckled causing Ichigo to turn red in embarrassment.

"Follow me," he ordered while standing up. Rukia did as he said and followed him quietly downstairs into the kitchen. There Ichigo had poured two bowls of cereal so Rukia and him can eat.

"Eat up because after this we need to change," he said while finishing off his breakfast. Rukia gave him a confused look as she wondered were they could have possibly be going. She just nodded her head in agreement as she finished her breakfast as well. After changing clothes Rukia followed Ichigo out of the house and into the streets.

"Where are we going?" she questioned. "Just follow me," Ichigo responded. Rukia gave a small sigh as she did what she was ordered. It felt to Rukia as if they were walking for a life time.

"Were here," Ichigo stated plainly as they stood in front If a bench. Rukia soon recognized the bench with her name engraved in it and tally marks around it. As Ichigo sat down he covered the armrest with Rukia's name with his elbow as he place his head in his hand. "Well are you going to sit down," he growled impatiently. Rukia snapped out of her thoughts as she walked over and sat beside him.

She had no idea why they were sitting in the park in the morning. They both starred at the playgrounds in silence with there separate thoughts. Rukia would occasionally glance at Ichigo seeing how he wore a scowl. He didn't pay attention to her as he focused on the swing set before him. The uncomfortable silence went on for quite some time. Rukia tapped her foot as she stared at the birds flying past the bright sun. It was probably noon now and Ichigo and her had only sat there in silence. She would make small talk but Ichigo would end it soon as possible.

"Ichigo why are we here?" Rukia questioned once more. She expected him to shrug his shoulders in response but instead he stayed still and silent.

"This is what we are going to do, we will ask each other any questions that we have about each other," Ichigo finally stated. Rukia nodded her head as she waited for Ichigo's question. He never spoke so Rukia decided to begin.
